Hard to tell how "nice" it is by the pic, Liberty looks a little weak.
My guess 10-20 bucks max

rh13 - do you have a digital camera with a close-up photo option? I put mine on a tripod, the coin on a black background and either try to shoot down on the coin by positioning the tripod from about 24 inches away and use the "zoom" feature on the camera to bring the coin in closer. The other option is to place the coin at a slight angle (leaned up against something) and then place the tripod about 24 inches away and have the camera so that it is angled at about 90 degrees so your are shooting "straight" at the coin to get best results.

Use of a flash or just background lighting will tell you what works best. I have pretty much abandoned use of the flash since it so frequently distorts the coin or adds glare. Background lighting appears to get the most natural appearance and even then some might turn out looking like toning.

Starting out, you'll have to take multiple shots of each side, with different magnification, lighting, etc and find out what works best for you. The new digital photography options on cameras nowadays, plus the photo editing options make it pretty easy to get one or two great pics to post.

I have also successfully taken magnified pictures of my coins through the lens of a microscope. Again, you have to find out what works for you through trial and error. Hope this helps and goodluck with the pics.

P.S. I tried scanning in the past and could never get a quality scan. If anyone has suggestions about how to get good results with a scanner, I'd like to see the replies. Many thanks.
